Yes, I know there is a penalty to pay. But Jesus did not tell others to make those who sin pay the penalty. He did not order his disciple to kill people. That is the point I am making. God will give us our just rewards, not men.
No but he did tell his disciples to sell their cloaks and buy swords for he was going away. What was interesting was when he said that, the disciples produced 2 swords that they had been carrying(”It is enough!”) which gives a different nuance to the story of a band of peaceful disciples walking around preaching the good news. Some one suggested they had carried them around to guard against robbers; Christ seems to have tolerated the carrying of these swords.
No we don’t kill simply to enforce God’s law for vengeance is his; but self defense is another issue. Geller is Jewish as I had heard before and she has probably a different take then we do on history and the notion of the defense of rights!
Garland Texas was the site of the “Defense of the Prophet protest” in January. This is Geller’s counter response..a kind of “Defense of our rights” protest! No one shot anybody at the first protest but there was an attempt on life at the second protest!
